A novel method for the assessment of the Ph4As+/Ph4B− assumption for free energies of transfer of single ions has recently been suggested by Treiner, and used by him to deduce that the assumption is not valid for transfers between water, propylene carbonate, sulpholane, dimethylsulphoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and perhaps also dimethylformamide. The basis of the method is the estimation of the free energy of cavity formation by scaled-particle theory, together with the hypothesis that the free energy of interaction of Ph4As+ (or Ph4B−) with solvent molecules is the same in all solvents, ΔGt0(int) = 0. It is shown in the present paper that (a) whether or not the Ph4As+/Ph4B− assumption applies to transfer to a given solvent depends on which other solvent is taken as the reference solvent in Treiner's method, (b) the calculation of the cavity free energy term by scaled-particle theory and by the theory of Sinanoglu – Reisse – Moura Ramos (SRMR) yields values so different that the method cannot be considered reliable, (c) the calculation of cavity enthalpies and entropies for Ph4As+ or Ph4B− by scaled-particle theory yields results that are chemically not reasonable, (d) the hypothesis that ΔGt0(int) = 0 conflicts with SRMR theory, and (e) the conclusions reached by Treiner are not in accord with recent work that in general supports the Ph4As+/Ph4B− assumption for solvents that are rejected by Treiner.

Heat capacities and densities of dilute solutions of formamide, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol, 2-methoxyethanol, and 2-ethoxyethanol in N,N-dimethylformamide were determined at 298.15 K. Apparent molal heat capacities and volumes for these solutes in DMF were calculated and compared with the analogous data for other substances in DMF solution as well as with the data concerning solutions in methanol and water. Heat capacities of cavity formation (ΔCcav) in DMF were calculated on the basis of the Scaled Particle Theory. ΔCcav appeared to be linearly correlated with the standard partial molal volume of corresponding solutes in DMF. Similar dependences were also found for aqueous and methanolic solutions of the non-electrolytes.
